and slight are prominent men well known in the county and all of them are reliable persons whose veracity is undoubted I 1 have no doubt they would be willing to make affidavits to their statement there you have the monster story so far as completed but I 1 hope it will be concluded by the capture of one ona some time if BO so large an animal exists in this thia altitude and in so small smail a
